Criterion Validity of Screening Tools and Field-Based Tests for Health-Related Physical Fitness in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Monitoring health-related physical fitness (HRPF) may benefit proactive Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) management. However, knowledge regarding HRPF in patients with IBD is limited and gold standard tests are impractical for widespread use, necessitating simpler methods.

Aim

This study evaluated the criterion validity of screening tools and field-based tests compared to gold standard tests for HRPF in patients with IBD.

Methods

Adult patients with IBD completed screening tools, field-based tests, and gold standard tests for HRPF. Criterion validity was examined through (intraclass) correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots. Predictive capacity of the screening tools was examined with receiver operating curve analysis.
